Synopsis

This is an invaluable introduction to red wine that will give you the information to approach any bottle with total confidence. The enormous choice of bottles on the supermarket or off-licence shelf may seem daunting at first, but with this little book you will soon pick up the basic facts and be on your way to an in-depth knowledge of the wonderful world of red wine. Jonathan Ray considers all the important grape varieties - from Cabernet Sauvignon to Merlot, and from Nebbiolo to Zinfandel - describing their character, quirks and qualities. He also reveals the secrets of deciphering wine labels and explains the best ways to store, serve and taste wine.

About this title

Review:

These seductively small books (they will easily fit in a handbag) fit in a much more information than you'd imagine possible. The author explores the important grape varieties, makes sense of labels, and offers advice on the best ways to taste and store. --Observer Circ: ('000): 451 7 September
